[pct-l] Last 300 miles Web Cams

[Rob Langsdorf]

 Oscar,
     One of the things you can do is to check web cams for various ski lifts along the way. If they are still showing lots of snow, you know that you should wait a week or so.
Here is the site for White Pass (Your Highway 12 starting point)Mountain Cams

    IF the snow is gone from all these snow cam sites, you may still have higher patches to go through. When I hiked the trail north of Crater Lake back in 1988, we kept track of the snow on Mountain Bachelor for our start. We headed out about 8 July and still had our feet in at least a patch of snow for the first 10 days. From these sites it is clearly good skiing conditions at most of these slopes today.

    Have fun checking these sites,
           Mataguay Connector Rob

 O. (Oscar) Ikem SoFar, here. Hope everyone is doing well. I also really
hope that this will be the year that I finally finish the hike that I
started in '08. I have (give or take) about 300 miles to finish ... I left
off at Highway 12 in Washington.

Has anyone heard how the snow pack is shaping up this year? Lite, Normal,
heavy? I doubt heavy.

In a normal year, I've heard that you can't start a SB trek until July 1.
I'll be NB, but in the same neighborhood as the early SBers.

I'm living in Boise, Idaho now, so I'll likely hitch a ride to Washington,
head West on Highway 12 until I reach the PCT.

In past years, I've requested an entry permit from the fine folks in
Canada, with plans to hike to Hope, then West to Vancouver. I doubt I'll do
that this time. I'll go to the border, take my pictures, then turn around
and hike back to first major road. Is that about 30 miles or so of
back-track?

Good to see that this list is still running. I'll be honest ... I have not
checked it or posted here in a very long time.

O. Ikem SoFar, Class of '08
